Nice red bands mate. So I'm guessing maybe you're gonna build up a colony of hand picked breeders from your juvies? I loved my bembas back in Oz. I only wish there red band was as wide as ikola's yellow one...I'll have to take that up with there Creator when I meet Him I guess

Thanks. Yeah they have pretty good color and I hoping that the fry will continue on with their color into adulthood.

Yes, I will be growing them out and choosing the best to build a colony for now until I get ahold of a couple to few trios of wild ones or attain some from a quality and unrelated bloodline.

I think that once their stripe was that wide. But with poor breeding in the community and natural variance in genetics, it hasn't been retained except for a couple of groups. Pam Chins being one of them. I was on a good track when I first got my wild ones but out of 4 people and 90 total wild ones, I was the only one to save any. The 2 wild females. But they seem to be great! I'm not complaining though. Just giving a background on why I'm choosing this route for now I guess!

I do have a few projects going on fish wise. The Maswa, Murago (Tanz) and these Pemba. So that makes it all even that much more fun. I will always try to make the right choices to keep the quality of my colonies pure.
